Toe Loop Jump - Usage Note

Usage Note

In skating parlance, a toe loop jump is often referred to simply as a toe; for example, double toe, triple toe.

In British English, this jump is sometimes (confusingly) called a cherry flip, but a toe loop is not the same as a flip jump. In artistic roller skating, the toe loop is also called the Mapes after its inventor.

Famous quotes containing the words usage and/or note:

    Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
    Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
    With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
    Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
    The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    A note as from a single place,
    A slender tinkling fall that made
    Now drops that floated on the pool
    Like pearls, and now a silver blade.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
